Mark May and Lou Holtz say RR should not go
I don't know if many others caught the pregame show on ESPN where they discussed coaches on the hot seat, Both Mark May and Lou Holtz said that RR should NOT be on the hot seat. Mark May did not mince words and said that Greg Robinson should be fired at the end of the season. This is one of the first times I actually agreed with what they had to say.

From their lips to God's......errrr.....Brandon's ears.
November 5th, 2010 at 10:12 AM ^
Wait, there's a difference?!
November 4th, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
I don't know what happened, but this season, I agree with Mark May about 80% of the time. I unfortunately agree that some changes need to be made on the defensive side of the ball.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
For some reason, Mark May has not pissed me off all season, I tend to agree with some of the things he says.....amazing.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:42 PM ^
I was totally thinking the same thing. Lou however is still spitting all over the set about nothing in particular while everyone tries to understand how he ever coached football.
November 4th, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
Lou Holtz thinks we are in good shape? Oh man, we're fucked.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
but your assessment is uncannily accurate.
+1
November 5th, 2010 at 10:33 AM ^
The only reason why Lou wants RR to stick around is so that we continue to suck and it gives ND the chance to be better than us.
November 4th, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
I have always thought RR should not be fired. I have now never been more convinced that he must if those two say he should not.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:02 PM ^
but fire Holtz and May?
November 4th, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
This is thread #2
November 4th, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
I know this is similar to rtyler's earlier post that talked of Sports Center and Mark May, but here, the old goat himself, Lou Holtz agrees with May. No one can discount the drastic change in Michigan's offense and where that can be in another year or two. We just need our defense to mature.
November 4th, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
Lou's lone brain cell has been working on that solitary rational thought for several months. We'll have to wait until next July for the next one.
November 4th, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
What does everyone say we quit hiring or firing our coach until after the season and help this guy out in the mean time? Seems like a righteous cause.
November 4th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
Sure they weren't Slot Ninjas?
November 4th, 2010 at 10:01 PM ^
The call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE.
November 5th, 2010 at 10:10 AM ^
Yikes! Beware of the penguin:
November 4th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
I could not agree more!
November 4th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
for those two to give a thumbs up. I'll sleep easy tonight.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:03 PM ^
Just look at the board before you fucking post, holy shit this is getting stupid.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:07 PM ^
calm down. Put the gun down. I saw this was posted earlier but its not on the board right now so he didnt see it. No biggie right?
EDIT: it is on the board still. Sorry. But still. Calm down.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
Yeah your right, I guess i'm just tired of seeing the same thing over and over this past week.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:13 PM ^
we're all a little stressed. Nothing a 'W' cant change.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:08 PM ^
People love doing stupid things. For example: Chicago fans currently chanting Defense when they have already given up 90 pts by the 3rd quarter to the Knicks. Probably should have started chanting a little sooner.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
I imagine, if I had seen you said that, It would have looked something like this.
November 5th, 2010 at 7:32 AM ^
confused as to whats going on in that. I literally watched it 10 times and coudn't understand it.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
Well at least we've got Lou Holtz's backing. Peace has returned to my life

November 4th, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
lou holts and mark may don't agree alot,and lou holts doesn't like Michigan,WE BEAT THEM 2 STRAIGHT YEARS.So i also think he should come back!!!
November 4th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
I can now get a good nites sleep....
November 4th, 2010 at 10:23 PM ^
Mike Leach says the same thing.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
when I agree with Lou. He usually has his head up his ass.
November 4th, 2010 at 11:49 PM ^
It was either fire RR or keep RR. Lou had a 50% chance of agreeing with you.
I hope that makes you feel better.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
I'm going to return to reading a Chengalis puff piece. Whether I agree with it or not, it's kinda hard to place any credibility in DOCTOR Lou when the clown has left a trail of NCAA investigations at every single stop he made.
November 4th, 2010 at 10:40 PM ^
Are we really listening to Lou Holtz now for advice on coaching? The dude thinks ND is in Nat Champ contention every year!
November 4th, 2010 at 11:04 PM ^
Wait lou said RR should stay!!! that means we need to fire RR asap!!!
November 5th, 2010 at 8:31 AM ^
This won't get the "family values" crowd in a tizzy at all.
November 4th, 2010 at 11:25 PM ^
No more threads like this! Do we really care what any of these people have to say about our program?
November 5th, 2010 at 12:47 AM ^
Apparently we do care.
November 5th, 2010 at 2:00 AM ^
Isn't it possible that the growing consensus that Rich Rod is safe will help recruiting? But, if you disagree then obviously threads like this are pretty easy to ignore when they are appropriately titled (as this one is).
November 5th, 2010 at 8:51 AM ^
The media always insists that programs hang onto bad coaches. There are no exceptions to this rule. Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham, Mike Dubose, Ron Zook at Florida. The airwaves were filled with commentators insisting that they were great coaches. Rodriguez is no exception. May at least insists that GERG has to go. But who does he think hired Gerg after firing DC#1 two years ago? Who was it that brought on Tony Gibson and then gave him control of special teams? Who was it that fired Jay Hopson last year? Is it the same idiot that needlessly burned Devin Gardner's redshirt? That's the guy who has to go.
November 5th, 2010 at 1:43 PM ^
They most likely do not understand that our head coach, while spending little time on the defensive side of the ball, nevertheless insists that his DCs use one particular scheme and work with position coaches that are his personal friends - and has a habit of dictating disastrous midseason changes.
November 5th, 2010 at 9:13 AM ^
I cannot believe that I agree with them. Preparing for head asplosion.
November 5th, 2010 at 9:54 AM ^
Since I never agree with those guys, and they are so often wrong (hell, with them agreeing it is pretty much guaranteed they will be incorrect), I will take comfort in this.
